"On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind." - Johannes Brahms about Bach's Chaconne

The music of J. S. Bach is, in my view, one of the treasures of civilization-proof, should it be needed, that the human experiment has been worth it after all. The majesty of the Sonatas and Partitas has been offered up by generations of profoundly gifted virtuosi. Bur Perlman's playing here strikes this listener as transcendent, full of a kind of passion and rich masculine elegance-a sonic aurora borealis. This is playing to make you rejoice to have ears. We are in double debt: to Bach for these sublime architectures, and to Perlman for a lifetime of dedication to a craft that lifts Bach and us up off the page-up where we belong.

As one who too has mastered this mighty work, I can tell you how: it is such a privelege to be allowed to attempt it, one cannot POSSIBLY betray the mighty composer by introducing the slightest error. I believe Bach once wrote "I did not write this music: I only held the pen." I can tell you, on a concert platform, with an audience listening in silent wonderment, it is not I who am playing: I'm merely allowed to hold the instrument. In 1958, as a young student, Beverly Nicholls wrote in the May edition of "Woman" magazine: "Bach spoke with the voice of God: Keith Ramsell is his young disciple." I expected to be mocked next day by my fellow-students - not a bit! We all felt exactly the same way.

There are countless intepretations of the chaconne, all of them vastly different in their emotional color and intention. With so many great artists attemting this beast of a piece, and on so many insturments, I really find it impossible to decide which is my favorite. But the massive emotional quake I experience l every time Perelman reaches the great peek shortly after 6:27, is completely unparalleled by anything else musical I've ever heard. At best, I can only hope to vaguely allude to it with my interpretation and playing of the piece. Perlman is an incredible artist! And Bach is a legendary one.

And then when I found out Perlman's version, I'm gonna say to y'all: there's no other piece for violin solo such perfect as it is. Chaconne by Bach definitely came from heaven inspiration and that's why it's so wonderful. And Perlman's interpretation is just how I wondered: calm and soft, wild and strong when it needs to be. The combination of these two results in heavenly sounds to our ears.

This is far and beyond my favourite piece of music ever written, though I'm not dogmatic about the interpretation. I find that the piece itself contains so much depth that it can withstand a variety of interpretations. In fact, it almost requires multiple interpretations for you to begin to recognize how much is contained within it. It is, I think, the closest thing to perfection the human race has managed to capture.

Perlman is the tone king. Others bring other things to the table, Vengerov imagination, dynamic control and a cohesive interpretation. Hahn control and phrasing ... the list goes on.

This was recorded when Perlman was in his prime, 1986/87, the pictures in this clip showing a much older Perlman. I have listened to many, many recordings of the Chaconne, and they are all very different: Perlman, Maxim Vengerov, Kristof Barati (one of the most talented violinists to emerge in the last few years), Ray Chen, Heifetz, Julia Fisher (very soft version), Natan Milstein (1954/56), Hilary Hahn (very nice recording if you prefere a slightly softer version), David Garrett (yes, he did record this when he was very young), Joshua Bell, Zino Francescetti (aprox 1950), Henryk Szeryng (year?), Janine Jansen, Viktoria Mullova (don't like her interpretation), Yehudi Menuhin (live at Carnegie Hall 1940, perhaps not so good in that recording) and George Enesco (1940). Personal taste, but I really like the Perlman and the Heifetz recordings, the Kristof Barati version and Hilary Hahn version are also nice. Again personal taste.

First time I've heard version I enjoy as much as Hilary Hahn's. I understand everyone has different tastes; I personally think some of the other artists I've heard take a little too much liberty in the timing of the first minute, especially. That being said, I wish I could play half as well as any of them... but I really feel the piece most when the timing makes sense to me, which for me has to be closer to technically perfect with a just a little edge of prolonged grief. I think the way Bach wrote it, when played technically, speaks grief in itself; if you mess too much with the timing of those entry dissonant cords, it just sounds... forced, to me.
